Hope it's not too serious for Captain Hovis.
What about the one they lost against the head?
Interpretation. I don't agree that they lost it.
That came off Nowell surely?
To be fair it was the same for the earlier ripped ball in the wales 22 which he called knock on.
OUCH!!!! Good to see Brown showing sympathy straight away though.
Bit harsh on Clarteris. You wouldnt want to roll onto a dislocated finger!
And the exact same thing happens to Itoge!!
Joubert is madly quick to blow for not rolling away. On both sides!
Itoje my MOTM so far, though. Glorious play from him.
Dreadful reffing! Hartley came straight through the middle!
Gouging cheating bastard!!!!
Jeez, give it a rest.
Sweet jesus christ nothing in that surely. Tweaked his nose naughty naughty
18 is a lucky boy.
So is Marler.
Nah, wrong colour shirt 😉
Otherwise we would be giffed to death (wasn't it cheater Brown who did something similar?) neither gouging really IMO
Edit it was the other hate figure 😉 Ashton
What for knocking a nose in a maul?
Jeez, give it a rest.
😀 His championship will be over. TMO bottles it.
Bloody hell
2 tries when you should be 14 men.
Great finish though!!
I've just remembered - I was in Japan when you beat us in the WC too!!
Thank **** for that.
Good fun!!!!
Phew 😉
so, that touch.......
His championship will be over. T
He's English anyway!!!!
Well played England. Much better team throughout. Itoje was great.
England nearly lost that through stupidity. Need to get rid of both Cole and Youngs, liabilities.
Thought we were going to throw it away at the end again!
I was jumping on my bed in the end - that was a great attempt by Wales!
I think England got drawn into an open game in the second half. 19-0 up, play conservative and we would have been comfortable.
Itoje was immense, Watson brilliant under the high ball. A lot to work on, but we are 4 & 0.
He's English anyway!!!!
LOL I was expecting to hear he must have learnt that at Exeter!
It was Frances wasn't it?
Well played England. Much better team throughout. Itoje was great.
Agreed.
I'd drop both Ford and Youngs personally.
2 tries when you should be 14 men.
This.
@olddog - nonsense, both will be part of the Gramd Slam winning side next week. Welsh 18 should have had a straight red, fingers to the eyes. Totally bottled by the TMO, "not enough angles" wtf
Jones will rightly give the side a rollicking for the last 5 mins but taking Ford off was an error. Hopefully he'll see first hand what a differemce it makes with him at 10
That was too close for comfort.
Thought Youngs was awful! I don't think Ford would have got charged down if he hadn't been reaching for a pass around his ankles. So many poor passes within the England team in general but when it's your scrum half (and largely from decent quick ball) in particular you're in trouble.
By that record, both teams should have been at 14. One for rather more of the game.
@tallie indeed, Ford needed a call to say pass or dummy. Priestland took a gamble and it paid off
I'd drop both Ford and Youngs personally.
I'd like to see Ford in a game where 50% of the passes aren't too high, low or arrive at the same time as the back row...
England nearly lost that through stupidity.
I think England visible tire after about 55-60. We see it often. Tipuric, Ken Owens and Priestland all upped the pace and England wobbled. Charteris should have started too.
Cole got up from that ruck holding his eyes. I think we will see a ban there.
North Try a big fwd pass, but a great end. When the Welsh backs attack at speed they look bloody good!
England looked shabby with the replacements on.
I had to turn that off with 4 to go. I was far too emotional for a game I don't really like that much!
Priestland took a gamble and it paid off
That was Biggar. But hey you can only name about 15 players I expect, although they are mostly world cup winners!!
Priestland took a gamble and it paid off
😆
Maybe England were tired, but poor decision making. Poor pass to 10, poor decision to kick Billy going for intercept giving centre the outside. Holding ball in maul too long. Not seeing the obvious pass to Watson.
Also I don't get the mentality of take the yellow to stop the try. when 18 points up just and 10 to go, just defend legally and run down the clock.
This England team is starting to look interesting. France away is a big game, but win or lose, it's the summer tour to Australia a want to see.
